Dugar, Bates and Hall will not play against Gophers

Demetrius Dugar will not play when Northwestern visits divisional rival Minnesota on Saturday. The senior has started three games at cornerback this season before losing his job to senior transfer Quinn Evans. Dugar did not record a tackle in each of the past two games.

Northwestern does not disclose the nature of players' injuries.

Safeties Hunter Bates and Jimmy Hall have also been ruled "out" for the game.
